Fly Me To The Moon: ‘Bayonetta’ Goes Backward Compatible On Xbox One

Bayonetta is available on the Xbox One, thanks to the backward compatibility feature.

Bayonetta is now also available on Nintendo’s Wii U in addition to the game’s Nintendo-exclusive sequel, as noted by Eurogamer.

If you already own any of these games on Xbox 360, they should show up automatically in your Xbox One library. The WiiU port, as good as it is, is digital only, unless you want to blow $100 on the now-out-of-print first run of “Bayonetta 2”, and requires using the clunky gamepad, unless you wanna blow $50 on a Pro controller. Other new entries over the past 24 hours include de Blob 2, Arkanoid Live!, QIX++ and Of Orcs and Men.

There’s a chance Black Ops II could make the jump, but gamers probably shouldn’t hold their breath for a backwards compatible Skyrim or Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Nobody’s tried it out to see if the Xbox One takes a bit out of the game’s load times, but that’d be the icing on an extraordinarily badass cake. However, the framerate on the Xbox One can drop – which appears to be a bug that will be addressed in the next preview patch.
